(Quick Note: I did a search about this and I didn't find anything. Sorry if it has been asked before...)

So recently I have finished my read through the Nomad Lore document. Now that we know what the other Nomad affiliated groups are (and how they operate), would it be possible to make them into factions such as Das Wilde or Aoi Iseijin?

The reason I'm asking specifically if Division 18 would work as a faction is because it looks like the group's info/RP could be expanded by the community. On top of that, a specific Nomad infested faction operating in Liberty would bring something new to the game, maybe even open up some new ideas for RP backgrounds/etc. For example, Division 18 would also add something more... sinister than the usual criminal vs lawful theme that recurs over and over in Liberty.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: If you don't know what Division 18 is, here's a quote that NewOrder took out from the Lore Document:

Quote:Division 18
This group, retaining bits of influence throughout the upper echelons of the Liberty Navy,
Liberty Security Force, and Liberty Police Inc since the Nomad War, is an undercover agency
working with several key political figures in Liberty to spread their agenda and expanding
over to large corporations, mostly related to military projects. Although not as powerful or
influential as before 801 A.S. the Division acts subtly and much less aggressively than their
predecessors. Division 18 specializes in political and economical warfare, avoiding the public
and taking risks only when necessary. The agency is sponsored by anonymous wealthy
investors, and may have been behind the construction of the Altair Research Facility.

EDIT2: Here's a VERY rough draft I have made of Division 18's (or Delta-18 as I have nicknamed it) command structure. Please, feel free to criticize it. I would like to hear peoples' honest thoughts about it!

Quote:Command echelon-Nomad possessed humans - Gives orders to the lower echelons and deals with the political side of things along with communicating with other Nomad groups.

- Leader(Without cover): Delta-18.Name, LSF tag, Nomad/Nomad Guard ID, maybe some Nomad weapons or equipment included (not fully Nomad loadout), ships can include Liberty ship line.
- Leader(Undercover): Name, LSF tag and LSF Guard ID, no Nomad weapons, Liberty ship line.

Mid echelon:- Nomad possessed humans - Posses as lawful agents of the Liberty government who pass down orders to the Lower echelon and make sure no word about the Division's true agenda get out. They will also make sure that the Division's agenda is carried out as planned.

- Agents: Delta-18.Name, LSF tag, LSF/LSF Guard ID, some kind of combination of Nomad weapons and equipment with Liberty lawful weapons, Liberty ship line.

Lower echelon: - Consists of full Nomads (Assassins) and Nomad possessed humans (Assassins or Enforcers) - This echelon operates under complete secrecy, maintain allegiance to factions least expected of working with Division 18. This echelon is in charge of carrying out both the Higher and Middle echelons' dirty work.

- Assassins: Name, Nomad/LSF tag (depending on whether it's a full Nomad or a possessed human) Nomad/Nomad Guard ID/, Full on Nomad weapons and equipment, or Nomad weapons combined with human equipment, Nomad Assassin and Liberty ship line
- Enforcers: Name["Possessed faction name] etc.

EDIT3: I guess that the Wild have control over Division 18 and there's also some kind of Skype RP chat over Division 18, so I guess there are already things in place for the faction/group.

Personally myself I see it played in entirely different manner unlike the other mentioned branches due to the specifics and theme setting of Liberty house, in other words appealing more to it's style and thus acting not in open but entirely behind the scene. Nothing that would give away their identity: no special IFFs and no special IDs. More spy-fi RP and very little pew-pew. Conspiracy theories, acting behind the scenes, running weird experiments - that kind of stuff. At least it's how I see: a very tight-knit clandestine organization.

That's the way I thought it would be RPed, which is fine.

Heh, I guess that answers my question.

Voted for "other". Yes, I think it would work, but not in the typical way a faction works. No tags, no IFF, no openly accessible member/char names, likely no forum RP beyond a faction description. Knowing that "that guy is in Division 18" kinda ruins it, no?

It is nothing.
You didn't hear of it.
*Puts on black Ray bans* *flash*
You want to go home and have a nice cup of cocoa. Oh and put some armpit deodorant on.
You're working too hard. Life's to short to worry about Division 18. Oh damn.

I've always considered the LSF to have that problem to a degree. Yes, they are a military organisation, but they are also an intelligence one.

The LSF tag kinda ruins any attempt at covert activity, given it means you can identify them a considerable distance. It's not like they can sneak up on you.

As to the original question, yes, I think it's possible. However, Liberty might be the single worst house to try that sort of RP.
